Cheap flights from Krakow to Pointe a Pitre

September is the cheapest month on this route, and it is the first month listed on the price calendar. Fares stay listed through October, November, December, January and February, so the winter months are worth comparing too — that is the stretch when travellers from Europe look hardest at the Caribbean. Midweek departures from Krakow tend to cost less than weekend ones, and the Christmas and New Year weeks are the priciest part of the winter. For winter travel, start watching fares a few months ahead; for September, begin checking in early summer.

There are no direct flights from Krakow to Pointe a Pitre, so every itinerary connects, usually through a European hub. Easyjet is the low-cost name here, and its fares are built point to point, with bags and seat choice added on. LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, British Airways and Lufthansa are the full-service carriers, and their fares usually bundle more, though what you actually get depends on the fare family you pick. On a connecting trip, check whether the whole journey sits on one ticket, because that changes what happens if a delay makes you miss the onward flight.

Le Raizet is the airport that serves Pointe a Pitre and the rest of Guadeloupe. It sits close to the city, so the transfer into the centre is short — taxis wait outside the terminal, and local buses and car hire are the other ways in. Because you will almost certainly arrive on a connecting flight, ask at check-in whether your bags are tagged through to Pointe a Pitre or only as far as the connecting airport. Guadeloupe is a French overseas department, so bring the documents you would need for France, and expect French to be the everyday language once you land.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow has a single airport, Balice, so there is no departure choice to make — just confirm the terminal on your ticket.
• Add any checked bag when you book rather than at the airport, especially on a low-cost fare.
• If you are mixing airlines or buying legs separately, leave a generous buffer between flights, since a missed connection on separate tickets is your problem, not the airline's.
• Carry the same documents you would need for France, because Guadeloupe is a French overseas department.
• Look at September first if price decides it for you, then compare the winter months on the calendar.
• Ask at check-in whether your bags are tagged through to Pointe a Pitre.
